University of East Anglia

The University of East Anglia (UEA) was founded in 1963 and is located in Norwich, England. It has a very strong reputation, particularly in Creative Writing and the Environmental Sciences. UEA is currently ranked in the UK top 15 and within the world top 200.

UEA is a campus university, with dining options, accommodation (housing), and the world class Sainsbury Center for Visual Arts; an art museum that is featured as an Avengers headquarters in some of the films. Located in the heart of campus are cafes and restaurants, Barclays bank, Waterstones bookshop, the Student Union Building, the LCR (a large music and entertainment venue), Careers Central, and the Dean of Students (a student service/support centre). Accommodation is scattered around the campus, each providing students with a shared kitchen and many single or some double occupancy rooms. International students are guaranteed on-campus accommodation.

Norwich is located just 1.5 hours from London by train, 30 minutes away from stunning beaches on the Norfolk coast, and 40 minutes by plane to Amsterdam. Norwich was voted one of the most vegan friendly cities, and has a thriving arts community and a renowned music and cultural scene. Additionally, the city has been ranked as one of the premier shopping cities in the UK, offering a range of shops from independent boutiques to high street retailers such as Apple and Hollister.

UEA is making big investments on their campus. Recently they opened a £30 million Science and Engineering building which is designed to promote collaboration across science and technology subjects. The four story building includes science teaching laboratories, which allows for both large and small practical teaching across science subjects.

COVID-19 Update (as of 13 May 2020)

We encourage everyone to follow the directives of their local health agencies and provincial authorities in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

At this point the UK universities remain hopeful that they will be able to begin their semester in the fall with precautions in place but they are also working on alternate plans for how to provide their students, both domestic and international, the best possible education they can given the situation.

We advise students to proceed as usual with their applications until it is more clear how the fall semester will proceed and, if necessary, what alternative options (such as an online semester, a delayed start date, or a deferred offer) will be available.

Across the Pond student advisors work remotely, so there will continue to be no disruption to our advising services.

We will keep everyone as up-to-date as possible as the fall term approaches. To ensure you did not miss any communications from Across the Pond, please update your email preferences in our Preference Center
